  1. I've decided to go for a 4 ft tank. The quotes I've gotten so far hover around 4.5k, includes sump system, pump, lights(led/t5) rocks etc NO chiller, If I want to include a chiller that would be another $500. How does this sound? Frankly I would hope to keep it within 4-4.2k, is that possible?

  2. Thank you all for your help,

    Would be great if the tank requires minimum maintenance hahaha

    Occasional feeding is fine, I do plan to keep some soft corals.

    The package includes rocks and live sand as well.

    So I gather it's a must to include a chiller for the tank?

    It will just be a fish and minimum coral tank, with some shrimps

    Actually considering a narrower width like 3X1x2 / 3x1x4 or 4x1x2 but was told that it would be too narrow to fit a chiller?

  3. Hi all,

    I've decided to keeping a marine fish tank. totally no experience in this because i only use to keep freshwater fish.

    I've gotten quotes from various supplier, the estimated cost for a 3 X 2 X 2 full system tank with a full height cabinet ranges from 3-4k.

    however, these packages does not comes with a chiller.

    How are the prices? am i being carroted?

    I want to keep corals so i guess chiller is essential?? but i dont plan on stocking too heavily on it as i'm still a newbie, so im looking at like just a few maybe 2-3 soft corals .

    anyway, one of the supplier quoted me 3k with no chiller, but i noticed his tanks has those soft corals im planing to keep. he explained that those are anemone and i have to hand feed them.

    actually what is the main difference between soft corals and anemone? i still have to feed the corals right?

    and it's a bit difficult for me to understand why does soft corals need a chiller but a tank with anemone do not.

    Hope somebody can enlighten me.
